FReeQs,
IIRC, This was discussed about a year ago, but I think is worth a revisit.
(If you only have time to watch 1, watch the 1st one)
I recently watched these 2 videos:

and also another about CA fires from the same utoober. (SO MANY worth watching there. I’ve only scratched the surface. If you are so inclined, also pick one on hurricane formation.)
...
So..... that got me thinking. 1. CA fires. 2. Lack of rain in CA, but plenty elsewhere.
In order to “make rain”, do you need particulate matter in the atmosphere? For nucleation? (I think that’s the term.) Perhaps the reason for the CA fires is to launch particles into the atmosphere, which then blow from west to east. They are then “available” for storm creation.
I know, kind of wild speculation. I have zero background in meteorology. But I know enough basic science to be dangerous. Anyone out there with better meteorology skills? Some of you pilots also might have some insight.
Read a lot of info from a guy who worked on HAARP. His take is that any effect from the HAARP stuff is only local they’re not online currently (that I know of), and the speculation about them is not accurate. Can dig if need be.
CA had a lot of rain and snow this last winter; and it never rains there in the summer. OR same thing; a lot of bad fires in OR the last couple of years too. Historically the west coast has had many wildfires; before environmentalism and fire supression, the fires were not as huge, as they didn’t kill the big trees but burned out underbrush, dead trees, etc and actually helped with forest health. Now, another thing entirely. Man made by bad forest management practices.
re fires in CA
Dutchsinse, the earthquake geek, had another theory about some of the recent wildfires. He said (or at least implied) that some of these fires may have been due to methane releases caused by tectonic disturbances.
Think about the Paradise fire, a wildfire where the trees didn't burn. The fire came whooshing out of "nowhere", hot as Hades, but not requiring vegetation to fuel the flames. Could this fire have been fueled by natural sources of natural gas?
